basically, i stopped playing the game out of frustration. the late game comebacks, forced extra innings, scripted feel etc.. a majority of my season games were late game comebacks that go to extra innings.. the errors, doubled and home runs at the most convenient times.. the game just felt so scripted..

so i stopped playing for a month.. i got the urge to start playing again, so i drafted a team, set it up.. first 2 games i was winning, and of course, the late game comeback and extra innings.. both games..

this can't just be me experiencing this.. i have been playing baseball games for over a decade , including many of the past show games, and this one is the first I've actually forced myself to not play anymore.

I can't tell if it is you that is getting the comeback or the computer, but this has yet to happen to me on a regular basis. Either I come out strong and win, win after a rally in the middle innings, or lose. It would be hard for me to abandon this game cold turkey. Just too much fun.

The same thing kept happening to me on the easiest difficulties. I'm not great so I would have trouble stringing runs together but I would be up 3, pitching a gem when all of a sudden around the 7th my pitcher would just start getting hammered. And I would bring in relief pitchers with full stamina to no effect. Very frustrating

I would disagree... I bought this game the week it came out and have been playing it non-stop ever since and I have not noticed this problem at all.

Late game comebacks rarely happen for me as I usually stack my bullpen and pitching staff when I play Franchise. Maybe you're just playing with crapping pitchers late in the game? Thats the only this I can think of, I doubt its scripted or coded into the AI to force extra innings and comebacks...

based on the comments here I think we are seeing conflicting opinions. clearly lots of people are having this problem. I never said it's hard coded I ust said it feels like it is scripted. hoping someone had the problem and figured out why it was happening. I love the game it is just something that is ruining it for me

yep -- when it's time the computer will just string together whatever it needs to beat you. Like little ticky tack hits up the middle to score that 1 run, or if they really need to they'll hit 3 home runs off you in an inning. It happens way too often and there's no way to disable it, which is disturbing because that tells me that it's hard coded into the AI. Furthermore, it's been there for literally years and the devs will not do anything to fix it. They don't even acknowledge such code. Mention this at Operation Sports and there's a good chance you'd get banned for it, for instance...
